The EU Commission President has said that Brussels will “never backtrack” on the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s bill to override aspects of the agreement to avoid a potential blockade between Norther Ireland and Britain passes its first vote in Westminster.
Ursula von der Leyen, the appointed head of the EU Commission, is resolute in her stance that the bloc will not budge on the agreement and this paradox means a no-deal Brexit looks likely by the end of the year.
For his part Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he has full confidence that the UK and the EU will avoid a “no deal” Brexit by years end, but his own reciprocal resolution in pushing the legislation amending the withdrawal agreement seems to make such a scenario inevitable.
